Kent Field Club The Natural History Society of Kent

About the Club

Founded 1955
Around 200 members
Arranges annual programme of field meetings.

Aims to deepen the understanding and appreciation of the natural history of Kent, England.

We work closely with the Kent Biological Recording Centre in helping to provide a better knowledge of Kent's wildlife to assist its conservation.
